There are even a few differences between American English and Canadian English.

English is such a colourful languange.

Are you sure Canadian English was not derived from the American version?

I'm pretty sure that Canadian English is derived from British English since Canada was populated by Europeans...though mainly the French, right?  I am SO horrible at geography and that part of history!  (take what I say with a grain of salt!)

Oh, stop being so technical...BTW, we fought for our independance from England...I don't know about Canada, but either they haven't or they did quite a while after we did.  Somone provide me with the right answer, please!

 Hey,NO...Canadian is derived from British...First French came and Then British took over so French are now a minority in a way. And the truth is Americans are a totally new story from Canadians...Canadians were in a way the leftovers of the American Revolution...LOYALISTS...

Koko....

What's so bad about geo and his? In fact I'm a braniac at it...I especially like politics though I would never want to get mixed up in it... ;)

Never said I didn't like history...just I have a hard time keeping it straight.  I believe in another post, I said something along the lines of that I find a few parts of history that I just become obsessed with it.  The example I gave was with the Romanovs of Russia, mainly Czar Nicolas and Czarina Alexandria!

Color looks like it would be pronounced col-or :P

Like the "col" in column and "or" like well or. Unless that is actually how you pronounce it due to different accents :-\

In the South: cu-ler (with the "u" being pronounced like the "u" in "but")

Personally, I don't favour British OR American spelling styles. I mean, flavor and other words of it's kind sound the same, and mean the same thing, so it's a moot point. :P
